You really need to heed the advice that you have been given multiple times. You need help, and not the kind of help that is available on these forums. You need to speak to someone who can help you manage your anger and your attitude. Until you do those things, there is no reasonable prospect of you gaining or retaining any employment of any kind. 

You have been told this on multiple sites for well over a year, possibly even two years. It may not be the advice you want, but it is the only advice that will actually help you. 

Your best option, if you are for real and if you genuinely wish to have a future, is to consult with the mental health services, who will be able to support you in examining the way you interact with people, your tendency towards violent and abusive responses, and your inability to manage your expectations. The bottom line here is that you will never get what you want unless you address the problem of yourself.

That was said with the best of intentions. I have said it to you before. Others have said it to you. I doubt you will listen, but whatever.... you asked for a chance, and “a chance” is about you changing, not everybody else.

Thank you for the replies. Well I am handing in my CV to KFC on Thursday anyway so maybe they might offer me a job. A job is a job at the end of the day and it would do me good

[Samtheman1]

just been to a uni open day and there is loads of help there getting a job as well and good support

[ericsbrother]

good to hear that

[Samtheman1]

Well I handed in my CV to KFC. wasn't that happy about it because McDonalds are still rejecting me and with McDonalds you get far better benefits then KFC like free cinema tickets and even gym membership but I suppose a job is a job

[sangie5952]

You did fail to attend interviews four times with McDonald's. A lot of water will need to go under the bridge before they decide that they want another application from you. There are things that are reasonable and rationale explanations for things. If you had failed to attend two interviews with me, I'd reject your applications too. Four times and you'd have to go a long way to restore any confidence in you at all. So would most employers. 

This is about taking responsibility for your own actions. You cannot blame them for not wanting you. If you wish employers to take you seriously, then you  must take them seriously. That includes at interviews. You don't go in with "a job is a job" as an attitude, or that the job is not as good as something else. KFC may not be your personal career ambition. But they have lots of people to choose from. And actually, for some of them it may in fact be a career ambition. You may not see it as anything more than deep fried chicken and fries. Not everyone at KFC fries chicken. They are a multi national conglomerate worth more than some countries.

Lol sangie you are very funny. For starters that KFC has been wanting people for over a year. On another it is a job is a job because its not what I want to do but it gives me extra money for uni and hopefully I would be allowed a store transfer like McDonalds would offer. So even though I would not go into the interview in that attitude at the end of the day it is only a job to get money for me and for the majority of people and I would be happy about that 

 

And another reason it's just a job is I need it to be flexible and I hope KFC will be ok with a 26 year old needing a flexible job with transfer for uni

You appear to have forgotten that I know you "Sam". I know how the first sentence bait is intended to get a rise and "enable" you. It won't work with me. I know your tricks. And it won't work here, because, as you've already discovered, the moderators are attentive. The second you escalate, you'll be banned again. Which is the only reason that I've given you a chance. Just one.

And Sam, it's been interesting. To anyone who knows the university sector, you've clearly given away the fact that you don't have a place in September. I still haven't quite concluded whether you are for real or a troll. Either way, I think the help you need is beyond the likes of the good people here. I'm out. Here and for any and all future threads you attempt. 

[Samtheman1]

Um, That is not true, I DO have a place in September. I have know idea why you think i don't. I applied back in October. You are just trying to bait me and it won't work this time Sangie.

 

I would REALLY love to know why you think I don't have a place in September if you think you know the university sector. 

[Samtheman1]

This is for Sangie. You have told me that I don't have a place in September. I would really love to know why you think that is. I have given no indication that I have NOT got a place in September. I have said all the time on the places that i am on that I applied for university last year and i got my offers. That is how the university sector works and then i received my unconditional and conditional offers. So I am sorry for making this thread but I am NOT having someone call me a troll and say i am not going to university and other people a good people because i am a troll

 

This is unfair and your trying to get me angry and banned. Your the troll not me 

[honeybee13]

Hi Sam

Sangie hasn't said you're a troll, just that she can't figure out what's going on from the threads you've had over the years. Thank you for not getting angry - now everyone's had their say, let's get back to job-hunting matters.

Threads merged.

That is fine Honeybee but the fact is she has said its quite clear i don't have a university place in September and anybody will know that who knows the university sector, this is untrue, i have worked really hard to get to uni, much harder then most people and it makes me really upset that some people think i am telling lies about it

I tell you what you are really a nasty little person. I have asked you why you think I am telling lies about university. You answer me because this is unfair. You think you know the university sector SO well. So you tell me.

Yes. I would like to know why she thinks I am telling lies about going to university. And that she thinks she knows the university sector. I would like to know that honeybee13. I am very hurt that she thinks that. All I am asking for is advice about getting a job but I have some little nasty person thinking that Im not going to university because I have indicated that and I would like to know why she thinks that. I have worked really hard in trying to get to university and to be starting in September is an achievement but know i have some silly little poster who thinks its not true and i REALLY want to know why

We can't agree with everyone in life, Sam. You can put Sangie on your ignore list if you want to, as she can yourself. Concentrate on the KFC thing, the rest is irrelevant.

No it is not about agreeing with everyone in life honeybee. Sangie has told me I don't have a university place. She is accusing me of telling lies and I want to know why she thinks that. I have spent years trying to grow my grades and no one can knock my achievements. I respect you honeybee i really do and out of respect for you and others on the site i won't be getting angry 

[Samtheman1]

Some people on hear can be so mean and do judgemental. 

[Andyorch]

Getting rather repetitive this now Sam .....time to conclude the thread..its going nowhere.

 

Andy

[Samtheman1]

ok I really just want advice on a job. I was going to ask is there a way KFC might be able to give me more benefits like McDonalds does?

[honeybee13]

You can ask them when you go for the interview.

Didn't we cover this stuff earlier in your thread that was closed for being repetitive?

HB

[Samtheman1]

I don't even know if I will get a interview yet. I have had a look at the benefits and you don't get much compared to other organisations which I think is not fair. With McDonalds you get free gym memberships and cinema tickets. 

 

Also I have £900 in my account how much will I need for uni when I start 

[honeybee13]

Enough to cover your course fees and general living expenses, at a guess. Have the university talked to you about that? If not, you could ask them.

HB

[Samtheman1]

Not really I get a loan for the fees which everybody does but the maintenance loan depends on where you live and I am worried being 26 will affect how much I get
